The correct answer is D. because he thinks the old woman is too old and ugly.

Indeed, in Chaucer’s the Wife of Bath’s Tale, is the story of an Arthurian knight that raped a young woman and was sentenced to death.  Queen Guinevere convinces King Arthur to let her choose a different punishment. The Knife has to find the answer to the question of what women most want. The knife interrogates many different women but gets many different answers. Finally, he meets an old woman who agrees to tell him if he promises to do what she will later ask of him. She provides the knight with the answer: what women most want is to rule their husbands.

In exchange she asks him to marry her and he is repulsed by her old age and ugliness.

To use your example, cede does mean to go. However, "recede" means to draw back or go back. Think of an ocean. What does the tide do at certain times? It recedes!
